Our Weekly Budget.

Cambridge had only two . This makes the thirty-third Inter-University race , Oxford having scored seventeen , and Cambridge sixteen victories . On Monday , Lillie Bridge was again the scene of a keen athletic contest , the Amateur Athletic Club having fixed that day for holding their

Championship meeting . Unfortunately , the weather had changed from bright sunshine to heavy rain and a keen wind . Consequently , the attendance of spectators was sparse indeed , only those interested in sport for the sake of sport caring to be present . A very few ladies put in an appearance , and

considering the steadiness with which the rain descended and the wind blew , it is surprising there were so many people on the ground . The only lively feature of the meeting was the performance of tho Grenadiers' Band , under the direction of Bro . Dan Godfrey . The first event was

the Seven Miles Walking , for which two were entered—Messrs . Morgan , champion , of the Atalanta C . C , and Venn , L . A . C , each of whom had done the distance in 54 minntes . After a close and interesting struggle , Venn secured the Championship , Morgan giving in about a hundred yards

from home—time 55 min . 11 £ sees . Hales , of Cambridge , threw the hammer 96 feet 3 in ., beating T . Stone , Newtonle-Willows C . C , who achieved only 85 feet 8 inches The shorter distance allowed forrunning willpartly aceountforthe difference between this performance of Hales ' s and his

Friday s throw of 138 feet . The Hundred Yards was run in two heats , Shearman , of Oxford , winning the first , and Salmon , of Cambridge , the second . In the final , Shearman came in first , and Salmon , well-up , second . Brooks walked or jumped over in the High . Jump , clearing ,

however , owing to the state of the ground , only 6 feet . Elborough , L . A . C , defeated Lewis , of Cambridge , for the Quarter Mile Cup . Loder , of Cambridge , won the Hurdles , defeating Wood , late of Harrow , and Reay , L . A . C . Strachan , L . A . C , cleared 10 ft . 1 in . in the

Pole Jump . T . Stone , Newton-le-Willows put the weight 38 ft . 7 | in ., Winthrop , L . A . C . only 34 ft . 11 in . Six appeared at the- post in the half-mile , which was very cleverly won by Elborough , the quarter mile champion , in 2 min . 3 sec . Alkin , Nuneaton , C . C . cleared 21 ft . 3 in .

in the Broad Jump , Tomkin , late of Eton being second with 21 ft . W . Slade , Champion , won the Mile , leading all the way , and easily defeating his one opponent , Lewis Evans , late of Cambridge , who ran , however , very pluckily . The last

event was the Four Mile Race , which Goodwin of Oxford won by only three yards from Mason , L . A . C . Mr . Chambers acted as starter and Messrs . Lawcs , Chinnery , and Colonel Hammersley as umpires .

Iho trial of Captain Keyn , of the Franconia , which vessel , it will be remembered , ran down the Strathclyde , off Dover , was concluded on Friday last , the jury returning

a verdict of manslaughter . A point of law , however , has been raised , and will be submitted to the Court of Criminal Appeal . Meantime the prisoner is permitted to go at large on the same bail as before .

Arrangements have been made for having the Easter Monday Review , which will be held at Tring . Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar has been appointed by the Commander-in-Chief to take charge of the operations . Most of the Regiments that will be present will belong to the

Metropolis , and the necessary railway arrangements are being made for conveying them to and from the review ground . If the weather is favourable , the day will , no doubt , be veiy successful , and may encourage the Volunteers to hold the review regularly , as in former years . The

force , it is believed , will be told off in two divisions , of attack and defence respectively , Colonel Lord Abingcr being in command of the one , and Colonel Percy Feilding of the other . Among the brigadiers will , probably , be the Duke of •Westminster , Lord Ranelagh , the Marquis of Donegal , and Lord Elcho .

Ike Easter attractions are likely to draw crowds of holiday makers . Among the foremost to provide for tho amusement of the public are the Directors of the Alexandra Palace , who have arranged a series of performances and sports both for indoors and outdoors , far too numerous

to give in detail . There will be a Grand Extravaganza , entitled Turco the Terrible , the performance of the celebrated Jackley Troupe , Broekmann ' s Circus and Trained Animal Show from Berlin , the Hague Minstrels , Miss Lizzie

Anderson s American Mysteries , the Clown Cricketers , & c , & c . The Palace will open at nine a . m ., and not closo till ten p . m . The Crystal Palace announce a Grand Spectacular Burlesque , St . George and the Dragon , and a series of special entertainments , acrobatic , gymnastic , comic ,

Our Weekly Budget.

velocipedic , and the like . A special train service will run during the day . At the Royal Albert Hall will be given a grand miscellaneous concert at three p . m . Mr . Geo . Sanger will hold a Grand Carnival , and at all the other places

of public resort in and around the Metropolis some special entertainment will be provided . Of the performance yesterday at the Alexandra Palace and the Cumberland and Westmoreland wrestling at Lillie Bridge we may have a few words to say next week .

Certainly this is a most marvellous climate of ours , last week we wero all rejoicing in the most genial spring weather , Saturday , the boat race day , being , in fact , a perfect day of days , but the glass had been going down steadily . Ifc generally does when we are just settling down

to a hfclle sunshine . Sunday was boisterous and dusty . Monday Avas wet and boisterous . On Tuesday we had sunshine and snow . On Wednesday sunshine and snow again ,

and in tho afternoon , during a heavy storm of the latter , we had thunder and lightning , just by way of variety . Such are tho pleasures of a life passed in a variable climate , spring , summer and winter in the course of a few days .

The news from abroad , especially in relation to the Eastern Question , is far from re-assuring . All over Europe there is a disturbed feeling , as though the spring were likely to see the commencement of a terrible struggle . Stocks of all kinds , and in particular both Turks and

Egyptians , have fallen considerably . The failure of the Austrians to pacify the insurgents in the principalities , and the fear that Servia may not be restrained much longer from actually assisting the Herzegovinians , will fully

explain this . Then the Turks are said to be depressed by the prolongation of the revolt , and their soldiers are both ill-fed and unpaid . If , however , the Great Powei's were to declare unmistakably that the peace of Europe should , under no circumstances , be disturbed ; if Servia were told that

her territory would be occupied , if directly or indirectly she lent further countenance to the disaffected subjects of the Sultan , and if the latter were bidden to lay down their arms under penalty of being disarmed by Austria or Russia , the present sense of disquiet would soon pass away .

But the Great , at least the Great Eastern Powers , cannot make up their minds to pursue a common policy ; they are jealous of each other ' s influence , and thus there is a prospect of Europe drifting into war for want of a little energy . In Franco , matters are going more smoothly ; the Bourse ,

in common with those of Vienna , Berlin , London , & c , has been agitated ; but , apart from this , the public interest is limited to the verification of recent elections , the new Opera , and the approaching Paris International Exhibition . Rumours as to the retirement of the Czar still prevail , and

a German paper announces it is incontestable that the Emperor has declared that as soon as the interests of Russia should make it impossible to avoid a war between any Emperor or Power , he would abdicate . The news from America

is divided between the approaching Centennial celebration and the Belknap , and similar cases . General Schenk has undergone a long and severe examination respecting his connection with the Emma Mine , while the near approach of Mr . Belknap ' s impeachment causes no little excitement .

At the Quarterly Court of the Boys' School , on Monday , a printed appeal to Bro . Winn , for justice , was circulated by , or on behalf of , Mr . Theodore Wiesendanger , Second and Foreign Master at the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys . We need not trouble our readers with the

subjectmatter of the complaint . Suffice it to say that Mr . Wiesendanger selected for the publication of his tale of woe the very day on which our Rev . Bro . Woodford was about bringing forward a certain motion , the object of which was to re-establish harmonious relations between West

Yorkshire and the government of the Boys' School . We must point out to Mr . Wiesendanger that if he has , or thinks he has , a grievance against the Executive , he should submit

it , m the first instance , to the House Committee , or to the General Committee . If he is still dissatisfied , there is a court of final appeal in the shape of the Quarterly General Court .

The next meeting of Grand Lodge is appointed to take place on Wednesday , the 26 th inst ., at 4 p . m . After the Installation of H . R . H . the M . W . G . M-, the Graud Festival will be held .
